Chapter 358: Eight Minutes
After Gao Lin saw the ball roll into the goal, he turned around and ran to Zhou Yi without hesitation, and then hugged him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info He must thank this "junior", who is five years younger than him, because of his arrival, he has changed himself.
In fact, although he is a striker, Gao Lin is not very outstanding in scoring goals. The numbers speak for themselves ā his first club was Shanghai Shenhua, where he spent five seasons, making 67 appearances and scoring just 12 goals.
And his first Super League goal for the team came a year after he played in the Chinese Super League......
Although when he later switched to Guangzhou Evergrande, he became the Golden Boot with 20 goals in the Chinese League. However, the level of the Chinese League is not high, and Gao Lin, as an international player, has scored so many goals does not mean that his shooting skills are good.
You must know that in the Chinese Super League, he has never scored in double figures in a season......
In the national team, although he was selected for the national team in 2005, he represented the national team. However, his first goal in an international A tournament was not scored until 2009.
By the end of last year, he had scored just eight goals in 41 appearances for his country.
For reference, Gao Lin's forward rival in the national team, Yang Xu, was only selected for the national team for the first time in 2009, and by the end of last year, he had only played eight games for the national team and scored three goals.
Eight goals in forty-one games, an average of just over one goal in five games.
Three goals in eight games, an average of one goal in two and a half games.
Who is more efficient?
But Gao Lin still got more opportunities to play in the Gao family's army, why?
Because Golin's role is not reflected in the goal, but in his support of the team's attacking system.
As a centre-forward, Gao Lin can take the initiative to pull to the side as a winger, although he doesn't shoot well, but he has good awareness and passing ability, so he can play the ball for his teammates.
In the Gao Jiajun, who pays special attention to the fast passing and cutting cooperation in the first 30 meters, in fact, Gao Lin is not needed to score much.
But as a striker, who doesn't want to score goals?
Players who are not strikers like to score goals, let alone strikers.
And Gao Lin has always been criticized for his scoring ability, and of course he hopes to plug these people with practical actions.
Until this Asian Cup......
With Zhou Yi's help, he has now scored a ...... Five balls!
Temporarily surpassed Gu Jizhe and became the first in the shooter list.
Gao Lin, who ran back, hugged Zhou Yi.
Other Chinese players also poured in from all directions and hugged the two of them.

When the game started again, the morale of the Chinese team, who had just equalised, was high, and they launched a fierce attack on the Australian goal under the impetus of Zhou Yi.
There were so many attacks that really made Australian fans break out in a cold sweat.
The Chinese team's small and fast style of play did make it a little difficult for the Australian players to deal with, especially after the dispatch of Zhou Yi, the "offensive hub".
If Zhou Yi is the CPU processor of the Chinese team, then the computing speed of this processor is simply amazing!
In a complex stadium environment, he barely needs to observe or think, and as soon as he receives the ball, he can pass the ball out and then run to the next position to receive the ball.
If someone has a record and analysis of his running trajectory throughout the game, I am afraid that they will be surprised to find that Zhou Yi's every running choice is just right, and there is almost no waste of distance and timing!
Of course, the Australian players haven't seen it yet, they can only instinctively feel that this week is not easy and powerful based on their actual experience in the game!
Of course it's amazing, but if it's not great, can you become the core of Dortmund at the age of just nineteen?
During this time, Australia could only recover all the lines and defend with all their might to deal with the Chinese team's attack.
The fans of the Chinese team watched it very highly, and the commentator Liu Hong screamed in surprise, just like an orgasm.
Gao Hongbo on the sidelines also stood on the sidelines the whole time, staring intently at the court, swinging his body with every pass of the team, these actions showed his inner emotions, sometimes excited, sometimes annoyed, sometimes regretful, sometimes expectant......
He is fully engaged, and he looks like an actor who has been deeply involved in the play, immersed in it.
Gao Hongbo is indeed immersed in it.
Although he has always emphasized fast passing when approaching the opposition penalty area throughout his training, no matter how well the team does in training, as long as it comes to the game, the success rate will drop to varying degrees, depending on the opponent's defensive toughness.
He feels that the Chinese players may still have a long way to go if they want to achieve the performance he wants.
I didn't expect it...... In these eight minutes, he actually saw the football in his mind, which was incomprehensible in beauty!
The exquisite passing and cutting coordination was like a rising tide, impacting the Australian defense again and again, making them embarrassed!
"At this time...... All it takes is a goal...... It was perfect......"
Gao Hongbo muttered to himself.
But the goal was delayed.
Such a high-intensity and fast-paced style of play requires high physical fitness and the tacit understanding of the whole team. Although this period of time was beautiful, it could not last.
The Chinese team besieged Australia's penalty area for ten minutes, so they couldn't help but slow down the pace, retreat, and continue to entangle with Australia.
On the one hand, Zhou Yi's physical fitness cannot be maintained at a very abundant level, his uninterrupted running and passing is very physically demanding, especially when attacking, because he often needs to rush to the receiving point in time, so he has to sprint often, which is anaerobic exercise, and all the energy stored in the body is consumed.
On the other hand, it is impossible for the players of the Chinese team to keep up with the rhythm of Zhou Yi all the time. In the past eight minutes, they have been able to keep up with Zhou Yi's fast-paced and almost brainless style of play, which is already remarkable, and it is simply impossible for them to continue to persevere.
In this way, under the dual factor, the stormy attack of the Chinese team finally came to an end, and the Australian players could breathe a sigh of relief......
When the Chinese team's attack retreated like a low tide, the Australian commentator breathed a sigh of relief, and his exhalation voice was transmitted through the microphone to thousands of Australian households. Like him, many Australian fans were breathing out of their mouths and noses, and they were so nervous that they almost forgot their heartbeats, and if the Chinese siege lasted so many minutes, they might have died......

"Ahhh 'Maybe we can continue to attack like this a little longer and we can score...... But alas, there are no ifs in football. In fact, the performance of the national team is very, very, very good! You know, this kind of scene that we couldn't see from the national team before!"
He's right, don't talk about the past, today's eight minutes have not been seen in several other national team matches in this Asian Cup......
ā»ā»ā»
"It's incredible!"
After returning to the hotel, the Japanese players gathered together to watch the live TV broadcast when the Chinese team played live. When they saw the Chinese team besieging Australia for eight minutes, their eyes widened, and a few of them almost stuck their heads on the TV screen......
The Chinese national team shown in these eight minutes made the Japanese players feel strange and ...... Terrible.
Yes, terrible.
They never imagined that the Chinese team would be able to play like a real Barcelona.
Japanese football has always prided itself as the representative of Asia's technical stream, but these eight minutes have made them feel threatened.
Shinji Kagawa didn't give any admiration, nor did he lean his body up to see it more clearly.
He was not surprised by this, because he had been training and competing with Zhou Yi for half a season. Although he has only been in half a season, he has fully seen Zhou Yi's ability.
This kind of football, he can often feel in training at Borussia Dortmund.
The core is, of course, Zhou Yi.
Only Zhou Yi has the ability to drive so many people.
He is now very glad that his teammates have seen the performance of the Chinese team in these eight minutes, otherwise if they still look at the Chinese team with old ideas and eyes, they are afraid that they will have to plant a big heel in the final!

Eight minutes later, Australia began to press and attack.
There is no difference from eight minutes, Zhou Yi is still running, but his running speed is a little slower, and the sprint is significantly reduced.
He's using his movement to help his team defend, and passing and control to slow down Australia's tempo and play with them.
The overall strength of the Chinese team is indeed inferior to that of Australia, so he will have to work harder to ensure that the situation remains in a delicate equilibrium.
When the time is ripe, it doesn't take too much force to break this equilibrium......
ā»ā»ā»
The delicate equilibrium has been maintained, and although there are some ups and downs in between, the general trend has not changed.
Until the end of the 90-minute game, Australia failed to break through the Chinese team's goal, and the Chinese team certainly did not score again.
The two sides ended the game with a draw and the game went into thirty minutes of extra time.
As a result, the two semi-finals of this Asian Cup will be played for 120 minutes......
